UNSPSC 40174501: Brass pipe swivel or rotating joint

Pipe swivel or rotating joint made of brass

UNSPSC 40174501 Brass pipe swivel or rotating joint is a Commodity code that nominally covers specialized plumbing and fluid-transfer fittings, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to that scope. Santa Clara County's single recent posting under the code—ITB RDA FY260694 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project—solicits comprehensive roadway reconstruction work including pavement recycling, asphalt overlay, curb and gutter installation, ADA improvements, traffic signal modifications, and guardrail replacement. The actual work being procured bears no connection to brass pipe swivel joints or rotating connectors. This mismatch suggests either a coding error at the issuing body or that the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for its nominal commodity purpose.

The geographic activity under this code is limited to Santa Clara County, California, with a single ITB due May 21, 2026. Given the complete absence of corroborating opportunities in other states or jurisdictions, and the documented disconnection between the code's stated scope and the work actually solicited, this Commodity code shows no meaningful recent activity aligned with brass pipe swivel or rotating joint procurement. Business development professionals tracking state and local demand for plumbing fittings should monitor alternative UNSPSC codes rather than rely on this one as a primary signal for market opportunity.
